Erica Ashley, LPC

Erica Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction and co-occurring conditions, anger management, family and relationship issues, trauma and grief, and concerns related to self-esteem and life transitions. Erica’s approach is strength-based and client-centered, grounded in unconditional positive regard so that each person’s abilities and resilience are foregrounded as part of the healing process.

She draws from several evidence-informed methods - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy - to tailor interventions to the needs of each person. As a holistic counselor she seeks to address the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and collaborates with clients to create clear goals and practical strategies that support growth and recovery.

Erica emphasizes the importance of building trust and rapport and aims to maintain a respectful, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can be themselves. She partners with people to identify priorities, set achievable objectives, and work toward meaningful solutions. Erica welcomes the step of reaching out for support and looks forward to assisting others on their personal journeys.
